Rocket Sanders’ Two Homecomings in One Never Felt Sweeter + More from Florida Win
photo credit: Tye Richardson/ESPN ArkansasRocket Sanders had plenty of motivation in what was essentially a two-in-one homecoming for Arkansas football on Saturday.
On top of returning from injury and being back in his home state, it was the first time his son has been able to come to a game and the junior made sure to put on a show. Sanders rushed for 103 yards on 18 carries in the Razorbacks’ 39-36 overtime win over Florida.
It was the first 100-yard rushing game of the year by any Arkansas player and the performance more than doubled his season rushing total, which was just 91 yards through the team’s first eight games.
